The Netgate® SG-1000 microFirewall is a cost-effective, state-of-the-art, ARM®-based, pfSense® Security Gateway appliance. The SG-1000 comes with dual 1Gbps Ethernet ports, enabling maximum throughput exceeding 100Mbps[1]. The ARM Cortex®-A8 in the TI AM3552 SoC and DDR3L RAM facilitate low-power consumption while maintaining performance. The SG-1000 comes in a lightweight anodized aluminum case. It’s credit-card sized footprint allows it to be easily tucked away, but you’ll be proud to show it off. We’ve even bundled in a one-year subscription of pfSense Gold; a $99 value that provides access to auto-config backup, monthly hangouts, and more.

The Netgate SG-1000 microFirewall is inexpensive and purpose-built to run pfSense software. It can be deployed in many environments: Multi-dwelling units (MDU) such as apartments and dorm rooms, commercial-control applications (SCADA), and the more traditional small office / home office environments. It is also an ideal security gateway for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as remote monitoring applications for smart home/smart cities, commercial automation, energy management, agricultural, and health care.

Software Features

pfSense software is a free, open source firewall and router distribution based on FreeBSD that is functionally competitive with expensive, proprietary commercial firewalls. pfSense software-based appliances can be configured as a stateful packet filtering firewall, a LAN or WAN router, VPN Appliance, DHCP Server, DNS Server, or can be configured for other applications and special purpose appliances. This next generation pfSense security appliance features include:

Stateful packet filtering firewall or pure router

Routing policy per gateway and per-rule for failover and load balancing
